Services for Current or Returning Undergraduate Students

University Advising Center helps students who have not yet declared a major or who
are in the process of changing their major. We encourage you to explore your options
with the help of one of our counselors.

We provide General Education advising to students who are not in the following colleges:
College of Arts and Humanities, Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology
and College of Social Sciences. All other students see your major advisor.

University Advising Center specializes in helping students in academic probation or
disqualification. Please make an appointment with an University Advising Center counselor
to make a plan for academic success.

Class Registration

We can help you with class schedule planning, searching for classes, or assist with
registration problems. We WILL NOT enroll you in class or make your schedule for you.
If you are needing a Permission Number contact that department directly, our office
does not give out Permission Numbers.

Degree Progress Report (DPR)

Our advisors can assist you with reviewing and learning how to read your DPR. Please
bring a recently printed copy of your DPR to the appointment. If you are thinking
of changing your major we can run a What-If-DPR for the new major.

Academic Petitions

We facilitate academic petitions for substitutions or exceptions to the General Education
and the Upper Division Writing Skills requirement. Generally, these are for courses
taken from an out-of-state institution or through a Study Abroad program.

Note: We do NOT facilitate petitions for major requirements. Please visit your academic department.

To retroactively drop (or add) a class or withdraw from an entire semester for justifiable reasons,
you may submit a Record Adjustment petition. Forms may be obtained here.

Special Major Advising

If you would like to design an academic program not offered by the university, you
may petition to design a special major. Make an appointment with a counselor in our
office for more information.

Returning Students

If you formerly attended Fresno State and stopped out before completing your bachelor’s
degree, we can help guide you toward the successful completion of your degree.

Sixty-Plus Fee Waiver Program

The 60+ Fee Waiver Program is a fee-reduction program for students who have reached
the age of 60. If you have been formally admitted to the university and are pursuing
a degree, you may qualify for the 60+ Fee Waiver program. Check here for more information.

Four-Year Graduation Plan

First-time, first-semester freshman may enroll in the Degree Guarantee Program to
facilitate graduation in four years. See an academic counselor in our office for more
details.
